Taking leave of Arjuna, Maya proceeded towards Kailasha. On the banks of the lake Vindhu, some demons had accumulated lots of wealth and had kept that hidden. He planned to get that and use that for the construction of the palace. Along with the gems and jewels, there was also a giant mace that he planned to get for Bhima and a conch shell called Devadatta which he wanted to gift Arjuna.
Maya got back all that. He gave the mace to Bhima and the conch shell to Arjuna.
The palace that Maya built was wonderful to look at. The palace columns were made of Gold. It shone so brilliantly, that it seemed brighter than the sun.
A tank was built in the palace that had lotuses made of gems. Golden birds flew around and golden fishes swam in the tank. The banks of the tank were made with marble and a crystal stair case went from the tank to the upper quarters.
A sweet breeze always blew around.
After completing the construction, Maya went reported the same to Yudhistira.
